The Stone Age (prehistory-3000 BCE)

Picture this: humans wearing chic animal hide and accessorizing with chunky bone jewelry, striking a pose under the glow of a fire they just figured out how to make. Thanks to A.I., we’ve got them squinting quizzically at a wheel, clearly thinking, “This... this is gonna change everything.” Spoiler alert, it did.
Their décor? Major Flintstone vibes. Stone furniture, rock tools everywhere, and maybe a pet sabertooth lounging in the corner. If A.I.’s anything to go by, the Stone Age was one giant rock concert, minus the music. You’d better believe they were the original DIY enthusiasts.
Classical Greece

Imagine stepping into Athens with everyone draped in perfectly tailored togas, flexing their best ‘golden ratio’ angles. Aristotle’s probably halfway through a TED Talk on happiness, and Socrates? Definitely calling out everyone’s life choices from behind a goblet of wine.
Marble everything. Columns so unnecessarily fancy they’d give today’s architects an inferiority complex. If A.I. has its way, the Greeks would look like a society totally obsessed with philosophy... and gym memberships. Abs for days, people.
Roman Empire

Gladiators didn’t need Instagram because they were the Feed. These bronze-armored heroes strutted their stuff in the Colosseum like it was the place to be. And that’s not even touching on Caesar’s haircut-slash-power move. Talk about bringing bangs back in style.
But the aesthetics? Extravagant. A.I. would show marble mansions, golden goblets, and enough laurel wreaths to crown a dozen reality show winners. If you weren’t opulent, were you even Roman?
The Dark Ages

A.I.’s version of the Dark Ages feels like a travel ad gone wrong. Moody skies, castles that are mostly “under renovation,” and knights stuck in rush hour (okay, jousts). Everyone’s rocking the just survived a plague chic, struggling to keep their chainmail clean.
It’s not all doom, though. A.I. might brighten the narrative with a few troubadours, trying their best to bring Backstreet Boys vibes. Imagine a village singalong, minus the autotune.
Renaissance

Oh, to be an A.I.-reimagined Renaissance artist. Leonardo da Vinci adjusting his palette, maybe sneaking in a Mona Lisa selfie, all while low-key inventing the helicopter. Over in Florence, everyone’s at Café Michelangelo chatting philosophy and dissecting life over cappuccinos.
The vibe? Elaborate costumes, fantastical architecture, and absolutely nobody using a fork properly yet. But if the A.I. shows us anything, it’s that this era had one goal in mind—bring art to the masses and make it look incredibly extra while doing so.
Englightenment

That's a bunch of powdered wigs flirting with the idea that maybe the Earth isn’t flat anymore. A.I. imagines this as the era where salons (we’re talking ideas, not hair) got spicy with debates on science, equality, and "Have you read Voltaire? He’s such a vibe."
Their version of Smart Tech? Those ornate telescopes and compasses. And wherever A.I. places the Enlightenment, it’s sure to add some over-the-top chandeliers and intellectual side-eye.
Industrial Revolution

Imagine the clatter of machines, the roar of steam engines, and factory smoke darkening the skyline. A.I. paints a vivid picture of workers in waistcoats, faces streaked with soot, toiling relentlessly—outpacing today’s entrepreneurs, albeit with far fewer snack breaks.
The Industrial Revolution was defined by grit, perseverance, and relentless hard work—it was a time of soot-covered hands, clanging machinery, and monumental human effort. It’s as if the raw intensity of progress and human ingenuity has been given a polished, artistic lens, capturing the epic scale of transformation in vivid detail.
Victorian Era

A.I. does not skimp on Victorian drama. Picture corset-clad women walking tightropes between societal expectations and secretly radical thoughts. Meanwhile, top-hatted gents linger ominously near fog-filled alleyways, clearly considering writing poetry.
Grand architecture and absurdly intricate tea sets dominate the scene. But something tells us this is a TikTok-worthy era where restraint only made the drama juicier.
Gilded Age

Welcome to the age of too much everything. A.I. presents this era dripping in gold and irony, with Robber Barons flaunting wealth and debating ridiculous yacht names. Dinner? Twelve courses, at a minimum, and no, you can’t stick to just the bread.
A.I. practically gives us a Pinterest board filled with over-the-top mansions, diamond-encrusted dreams, and people raising their monocles to say, “Is poor a... thing?” Truly, an era where ‘extra’ reigned supreme.
Roaring Twenties

If A.I. years were dog years, the 1920s were on turbo speed—a whirlwind decade of change and innovation. Imagine speakeasies hidden behind unmarked doors, packed with a crowd dressed to the nines in fringed dresses and sharp suits, as jazz saxophones wailed into the night. It was an era of rebellion, where a collective “don’t tell Prohibition” energy fueled secret parties and underground culture.
Flappers, with their bold fashion, bobbed haircuts, and defiant attitudes, became the icons of the decade, redefining norms and essentially ‘breaking the internet’ of the time by dominating every metaphorical 1920s News Feed. It was a time of daring expression, where rules were rewritten, and society began to embrace a modern identity.
Great Depression

Suddenly, A.I. gets somber, crafting a world of hard times and harder decisions. Dusty streets stretch endlessly, lined with weary faces and breadlines that seem to go on forever. A nation, stripped of its usual rhythm and vitality, struggles to survive without the joy of jazz filling the air. Yet amidst the scarcity and silence, there’s a fierce resolve—a quiet determination to endure, to rebuild, and to find hope in the small, fleeting moments of connection and perseverance.
It’s stark, but there’s dignity in A.I.’s vision. Quiet resilience, community clap-backs, and a collective hope that things will somehow work out. The least glamorous slide but arguably the most genuine.
Post-Cold War Era

Cue the neon tracksuits, Tamagotchis, and overexcited modems screeching through painfully slow dial-up connections. A.I. takes us on a trip back to the 90s—a time when your denim game defined your social status, from acid-washed jeans to oversized jackets, and every kid in the neighborhood bragged about their latest high score on a Game Boy.
Websites were judged by how many spinning text GIFs or glittery animations they could cram onto a single page, and the sound of a floppy disk drive was a regular part of life. It was an era of simplicity and experimentation, where technology was just beginning its journey into our everyday lives.
